Ask yourself: is caring for my 2-3 kids at home, cleaning the house, cooking, laundry, ... Really the most interesting way I want to spend my life? There are some (mostly women) who choose this. There are many many more (mostly women) who d

Apologies I realise the start of my comment is a bit harsh. I do find out really frustrating to see people many up facts and half-truths as they go along.

Uninformed nonsense. Its Finnish EU PRESIDENCY, which means it's paid by the EU budget. Each EU country holds the rotating EU presidency for six months, which means they chair interministerial meetings, formally negotiate and propose c

The second video is truly impressive. On the other hand I'm getting a bit scared for the expectations for the average office worker 10-20 years from now.

Chemical weapons attacks by the government against Kurdish and FSA-held cities did indeed happen. Not to justify US targeted killings, but it's not the same as Iraq's CIA-invented WMDs.

I do work in a related field and give your answer really sad. The answer is simply that standardised tests are not a suitable measure of learning. They miss most of the important insights and even efforts to open up, like the attempt to mea

I don't know if there's more to this rabbit hole, but a few self-reported cases (placebo effect?!) and a theory with some gaping holes don't seem to me like "well documented cases". If there are physical changes you

Also whitewashing as it hides the scale of the problem - even if you do everything to make sure you get an original product, Amazon might still send you a fake or opened & repackaged item due to their mixing own & other vendors&#x27

Its just that they are not secret. Never were. Like the freemasons - 100% in the open, but people go wild in conspiracy just because these guys' clubs keep up some funny rituals and have over time accumulated significant wealth.

But with that logic you'd also have to shutter half the other museums in Europe, e.g. British museum is full of stolen stuff.

In the US at least.. Most EU countries will have more protections in place and confiscation is much more difficult to begin with.

Why would doing yoga in a way that you consider 'wrong' as racist. That's an incredibly ignorant statement. There are hundreds if not more branches of hatha yoga, not to mention all the other kids of yoga. There is no racism

The paper puts in question the value added of individual teacher on a specific class - which is not really a very surprising finding, given that the incentive payments in the US are known to push "good" teachers to take "good

It's baiting people who don't understand the costs associated, eg change in insurance premium if they were to correctly register & insure themselves. Uber outsources all the risk and fees that taxi companies would have to co

As a factor it seems believable, as THE factor it seems more likely that there's a big funder looking for a strawman... Which industry does have an immense and known responsibility for insect deaths? Maybe the industry producing insect

I find the article and your comment somewhat disturbing. We really get into an ethics field here and I very much hope that they have ethical review panels as psychology or sociology have been using for decades. But that aside, what I find d

The fame reviews are mostly easy to spot (although of xours sits impossible to know which ones you didn't spot...) - eg that they have photos is for me a clear indicator of fakes. But even if you actually recognise them, it wastes your

As a European I've definitely received fakes from amazon.DE. But I find the game reviews much more bothersome. Most products I now buy somewhere else but living abroad it's difficult to get everything I 'expect' so somet

But it is a living language and not among the most difficult ones. Why not learn the whole language rather than a reading focus only? You don't have to learn to fluency.

They don't choose the brave ads either. In return you get shown ads - and they get nothing unless they give in and sign up for another service that may or may not actually pay them something.

Total propaganda war here. No they are not opt in for a site, you opt in and then they always show, you only share tokens if you choose to do so. And who tells me brave is not tracking me? If anything they have even better data than eg Goog

Ah there you go. That's exactly why I deleted brave. Make it more annoying, splendid! And in the process demonetise websites and claim it's all for the greater good.
